DONATE TO EMERGENZ
Every second counts in an emergency. At EMERGENZ, we’re working tirelessly to make those seconds count for more – more lives saved, more communities supported, and more responders empowered with the best tools and training. By donating to EMERGENZ, you become a crucial part of this life-saving mission. We understand there are many causes to support, so we want to share why a donation to EMERGENZ has a direct and meaningful impact.
Why Donate to EMERGENZ?
Support First Responders & Communities: Your donation translates into tangible aid. For example, a contribution might help us stock our Mass Care Logistics Support Program (MCLSP) with medical supplies, which could serve a community experiencing a disaster. It could help fund a training program for volunteer EMTs to learn new techniques that improve patient outcomes in their communities. In short, you’re equipping the heroes on the ground and strengthening the safety net around your neighbors.
Drive Innovation in Emergencies: Traditional funding for emergency services often leaves little room for experimentation and new tech. Donations to EMERGENZ fuel our innovative projects – like developing our quadruped robotic platform tailored for public safety and disaster operations. These breakthroughs can change the game in crisis response, and your support makes cutting-edge research and implementation possible.
Multiply Your Impact: Because we operate on a federation model, helping EMERGENZ has a multiplier effect. The tools, training, or programs we create are shared across many communities and partner organizations. A single donation helps not just one program, but potentially dozens of affiliated groups nationwide. It’s like donating to many charities at once, all coordinated for maximum impact.
Community Resilience: In addition to immediate response, we focus on preparedness and resilience. Your donation might underwrite a community workshop on disaster prep that could mean hundreds of families are safer and more prepared. Or it might support our community health programs, improving day-to-day wellbeing and preventing emergencies before they happen. This proactive approach means your gift has both instant and long-term benefits.
Ways to Give
We’ve made donating easy and flexible. Use our secure online form through the Zeffy platform to make a one-time gift via credit card or ACH. You'll receive a tax receipt for making a donation.
Zeffy (a registered B Corp) covers all transaction and credit card fees, so you can rest assured 100% of your contribution goes directly to EMERGENZ. You have an option to make a voluntary contribution (but are never obliged) to Zeffy at the time of donation to help them cover their operating costs.
Online One-Time Donation
Use our secure online form to make a one-time gift. No matter the size of the contribution, we will appreciate your generosity.
Corporate Matching
Many employers match donations. Check with your company – your $100 could become $200 with a simple HR form. We’re happy to assist with any paperwork required for matching programs.
Monthly or Yearly Giving
Consider becoming a Guardian of EMERGENZ by setting up a monthly donation. Even modest monthly gifts add up and provide a steady stream we can count on for planning. As a monthly donor, you’ll receive special updates and an annual impact summary of what your sustained support achieved.
In Honor or Memory
You can donate in honor of someone (perhaps a loved one who was a first responder, or a friend you want to celebrate). We’ll send a notification to the honoree if you provide contact info, and possibly share their name in our annual report’s honor roll.
Major Gifts and Grants
If you are considering a larger contribution or representing a foundation, please contact our development team (donate@emergenz.us). We can discuss specific projects that align with your intent, offer naming opportunities (for example, sponsoring a piece of equipment or a scholarship program), and ensure proper acknowledgment.
Planned Giving
By including EMERGENZ in your will or as a beneficiary of a retirement account or insurance policy, you leave a legacy of resilience and hope for future generations. We can provide sample bequest language or coordinate with your financial planner if you choose this meaningful route.
Join Us in Making a Difference
When you donate to EMERGENZ, you’re not just giving money, you’re giving us the opportunity to make meaningful and impactful change that supports our programs that benefit first responders and our ability to provide support in emergency and disaster scenarios. Every piece of medical equipment we can provide, every first responder we train, every piece of technology we deploy carries with it the generosity of people like you. We often tell our responders and staff, “You are not alone out there – an entire community of supporters has your back.” That sense of solidarity fuels their courage and dedication.
